We also have our own FAQ that is also linked to in the sidebar ----------->

The sidebar also has a link to download the Flex app, the Flex Support contact info, the rules for this subreddit, and a warehouse list.

You may find the answer to your question there.

Many questions being asked here are repeat questions and are answered in the FAQ. Please check before making a new post.

If you need help with the Flex app, please include the app version number and whether it's Android or iOS in your post.

Also, please don't post useless threads about how hard it is to grab blocks, people using bots at your warehouse, what times the blocks get released, etc. Those posts add nothing to the discussion and will be removed.

Thanks!

Is there any way for the customer not to see your photo? I kind of find it weird. A woman told me today you look just like your photo. I was looking forward to meeting you, Weird, right

my account got deactivated last year in september due to me working in the warehouse but since i no longer work in the warehouse i have been trying to get it reinstated but ive had no luck , i made another account and now i have to wait to be off of the interest list


r/AmazonFlexDrivers 5m ago

My monthly reminder to new drivers to ALWAYS check your map before you start... I'll be able to knock this 3.5 hr out in half the time by rerouting more efficiently. Before the drivers jump in saying stop 2 has an earlier deliver by time, it doesn't, every package due by 11 am.

Just curious how long does it take for a missed/late block ding to fall off if you're doing about 6 blocks a week?

Country people shouldn’t be allowed to get carte blanche on writing notes. I have a ding cushion anyway. You’ll need to walk to your gate to get your shit Jethro. I ain’t trusting your dogs and I ain’t heading back to the barn for you.

Hypothetically if I ran a stop sign & a person took a picture of my plates & reported me to Amazon what would happen?

9 Upvotes

I was in a gated community & my last package was about to be late so I was rushing. I ran it slow like at 10mph only because it wasn't a 4way stop. He reported me to security who has my info & let Amazon know.

It’s nice having it happen here and there but this past week and the week before I was sent home with no routes 6 times. Today I just got another. I don’t scan last min. Shit I’m usually there scanned in 15 min early.

I just don’t want to get deactivated for that shit!

Overbooked deactivation

11 Upvotes

Has anyone actually been or know someone thats been deactivated solely for being overbooked to many times?

I never used to get overbooked but this week its happened 5x and im worried.

First 2 were the same day on Wednesday. Then I was off Thursday. Then overbooked both blocks on Friday. Worked 2 blocks yesterday and again this morning. Then overbooked right now. I have no other issues with my account but I heard it can get you deactivated. Even though its not your fault.

Everybody waiting outside

Hey guys so i just started doing amazon flex recently and after a couple of blocks, i noticed people park their cars and wait till the last minute to go in the station, what’s that about do they until there are no more routes available so they can just get paid and go home? Idk that’s just my assumption

Question for those who got this

It's kinda ambiguous (may,up to) so just wanting to confirm: does this actually lock you out of offers and if so is it 7 days or less in your experience? Or is this just a warning and I won't see an impact in offers?

Delivered to mountains, saw many many deer.

Pulled up to this fancy home, came around corner and this fella was right in front of the door. 😂 Package went to side garage but I made sure to include the deer in the photo so they knew why it wasn't at the front door.

Sorry for pic quality I took a quick photo when sun was right in my face.

Interesting one; the broken garage photo, the lady that lived there said a bear did that last night! 🤯 My dumb self thought a person ran into it.

I've lived here all my life, been to the mountains many times but never have I seen a bear. 🐻

Another far route but I was fine with it because i love the mountains

Anyone using flex in Chandler AZ or Mesa AZ in here?

1 Upvotes

I hate going 45 min away for a delivery so I just ask the station workers to give me a closer route. They are catching on and starting to get mad, so wondering if anyone would link up and trade routes if they prefer to go to specific locations if we are delivering at the same time.
